Charity record → Benefit album – Far more common name (try a search engine). "Benefit" more easily and accurately describes the concept of raising money to give to a charity. Compare to benefit concert. "Record" is an outmoded way of describing an album. relisted --Mike Cline (talk) 09:53, 19 May 2012 (UTC) ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  19:18, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. I'm not sure I've heard "charity record"—is it British usage? --BDD (talk) 00:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose, as the majority of the entries on the list are singles rather than albums. Also, "benefit" covers performances that are designed to raise money for an (already obscenely rich) individual, rather than a charity - see benefit match. Tevildo (talk) 18:19, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Singles known but charity is not known
There was a single in 1999 called "Candle for Kosovo" which reached number one in Ireland not sure what the charity is so I have not added. Also Raoul Haspel released a single in 2015, I'm not sure about the charity as my source just says a local charity.https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/protest-artist-raoul-haspel-on-getting-one-minute-of-silence-to-top-the-charts-in-austria-i-had-to-10469203.html DanTheMusicMan2 (talk) 14:18, 10 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Actually don't think "Candle for Kosovo" was a charity single DanTheMusicMan2 (talk) 12:28, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Trim the list
The list of allegedly "notable" charity singles needs to be trimmed, beginning with deciding what constitutes "notability" in this context. Of the last 10 entries on the list at the time of writing, 6 apparently did not chart at all, and 3 of those are by redlinked acts, which makes it hard to justify describing them as "notable". Clearly the list has just become a dumping ground for any charity single of which an editor happens to be aware. I propose that it be restricted to only those singles which entered the top 10 in at least one country -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:19, 20 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Looks like the list is now charting only which has trimmed this list right down and i will be only adding those that have. DanTheMusicMan2 (talk) 12:10, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
